UM-Bot Posted November 22, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2022 The success of this month's Artemis I mission has placed us on track to see humans living and working on the Moon within 10 years. https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/362132/humans-will-be-living-on-the-moon-by-2030-says-nasas-orion-chief 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphalesion Posted November 22, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 22, 2022 The Moon is at least more feasible than Mars, since you can rotate the crew of a moon base regularly to prevent them from suffering from the long term effects of low gravity. On Mars? You still have the problems of low gravity and of an in-built energy crisis. Really, in my opinion, instead of Mars they should consider colonizing Antarctica. It's basically a wetter version of Mars that's infinitely more habitable for human life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted November 22, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Misleading title. "Humans will be living on the moon by 2030" It kind of implies some average folks could be living on the moon. Not just astronauts and scientists. When I think of "living" in a certain place, I think of a more permanent arrangement. While it is possible a few people will be left on the surface for some time (maybe a couple months, maybe longer). No one has stayed on the International Space Station for over a year straight yet. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/nasa-station-astronaut-record-holders 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamer screamer Posted November 22, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Nasa stated that they can't return to the moon, they haven't got the technology to go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadLordAvatar Posted November 22, 2022 #7 Share Posted November 22, 2022 NASA is confirming a crew will be on the moon in 2025. Also Musk is sending people to Mars in 2029, but doubtful imho. Quite exciting nonetheless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps that gravity would be enough to keep astronauts healthy. I don't think any experiments have been done of the long-term effects of Mars gravity, or moon gravity, only zero-gravity.

Hyperionxvii Posted November 22, 2022 #9 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) Not if it's up to NASA. They couldn't even do the moon lander unmanned. Musk is busy with the Twitter, so I guess we wait another 50 years for humans on the moon, but the Twitter twits will continue unabated. This is why we cannot have nice things. At least they got the rocket out of low earth orbit, so maybe only 45 years, I won't hold my breath.

This is incorrect, NASA never made such a statement - it's a common misconception based on something astronaut Don Pettit said in 2016. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iSerena Posted November 30, 2022 #16 Share Posted November 30, 2022 The last man on the moon was in 1972, let me just repeat that 1972. So in 7 years humans will be living on the moon? When we haven't even gone back. Utter nonsense! These ridiculous predictions are getting very old & played out. Elon musk & his billions still haven't even made it to orbit after all their predictions & plans of SpaceX. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want rather to fix things here just go ahead Because the moon affects the tides, life and light here. Start messing with it and who knows what the outcome will be. I do want everyone to fix things here, you included mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
